Coming home from a long day, the Commander left his ACU and sat down to enjoy his well-earned evening. As he opens a can of the finest intergalactic ale on his planet, his eyes catch a short glance on his generous front window. "No way...." he mutters shocked, unwilling to believe what he just saw. "I THOUGHT THEY ARE GONE FOR GOOD" shoots through his alarmed mind as he enters his ACU again, moving closer to what he just discovered. A quantum rift had opened!
As our brave commander advances towards the rift, he realizes that this is something different.. the usual cold and eerie feeling he experiences next to such a dangerous tool is not striking him, instead a sudden drag, like that of a tractor beam, catches his ACU and gets him closer and closer to the rift. He lets it happen, knowing deep within that he must fear no danger...
He teleported often before, but the sudden change of reality around him always caught him by surprise - he is now standing in a big spotlight on what seems to be a friendly planet - only with one difference: A gigantic arena has been built here!
As he progresses towards the humongous, roughly elliptic-shaped building, he sees 16 big boxes, each as big as a hangar. Some of them seem to be inhabited already while others still seem free for takers, and joy perfuses his body as he reads a few of the names on the buildings. Old, known names of great commanders. "This must be a tournament! " is his last thought as he enters the arena. In front of him he already sees commanders training, behind them a big banner with 3 letters on it... URC.
